Enjoy the Summer of 2018, but don’t

Zephyrhills water tower. Yesterday. Connecting – authentically, transparently, and enthusiastically.

 

Zephyrhills water tower
Zephyrhills water tower – the pace here is slower, the people are older, and the willingness to change seems less than it does where i live.

 

Enjoy the Summer of 2018, but don’t rest on your laurels.

Yesterday’s meeting was planned a month or so ago.

There are a handful of Disney Institute clients i worked with that made significant progress by adapting Disney’s world-famous, time-tested business principles.

i have remained in contact with them in the almost four-years since i retired from Disney Institute.

Why?

Because i can still help them.

And as i confirmed yesterday, they still like the help i provide.

To ship or not to ship

Florida caladiums in Spring
Our caladiums began popping through the surface a couple weeks ago. For us, this is the official Spring announcement.

 

To ship or not to ship.

What does this mean?

Shipping means committing to hitting publish – you go public with your art.

What’s your art?

Good question.

In a perfect world, you are keenly aware of your art.

Keenly.

Aware.

It could be that you are living like you mean it, versus living in fear, doubt, regret, worry.

Your art is what makes you come alive.

Coming alive is what slays our fear of death.

PS. Death isn’t our fear, not coming alive before we die is our fear.

PSS. Happy first day of Spring.

Taking this risk is easy

Apple TV setup
Yesterday. it was easy to set up. Makes you wonder why we waited so long.

 

Taking this risk is easy.

What risk?

It’s the risky choice between unwanted and life-changing.

And i feel certain you’ll pick one or the other very easily.

Taking risks is risky.

So is playing it safe.

Playing it safe is the biggest risk of all.

The easy choice is a trick.

Both choices are easy to make.

The second one comes with the lifetime requirement to stay motivated to not change your mind.

There’s no way in heck you’ll make it 100 days

wdw today
Yesterday in Epcot’s parking lot. Love how social media technology is part of everyday life at Walt Disney World. Social Media was just a dream when i began blogging in 2008.

 

April Fools Day 2009 was 3,287 days ago.

No one cares.

i get it.

But it inspires the heck out of me.

And…

Back then, the notion of writing five daily blogs for 100 consecutive days was beyond impossible.

And yet…

And yet i believe if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Because of that belief, i thought there was a remote possibility i could do 100 days (and 500 posts).

But to think i could go nine consecutive years (3,287 days) without missing a single day is absurd.

Absurd.

Constant 72-hour challenges?

medical appoint reminder card
After 34 years, a dramatic change. Snapped the photo above yesterday as a reminder.

 

What would life be like if we constantly pushed ourselves to improve?

Scary?

Glorious?

You know that saying?

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”
